“No discourse whatsoever can end in absolute knowledge of fact, past or to come. For, as for the knowledge of fact, it is originally sense; and ever after, memory. And for the knowledge of consequence, which I have said before is called science, it is not absolute, but conditional.”
Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan (Chapter 7, Of Ends or Resolutions of Discourse), 1651.
